FAQs

Why use WebM for web video?

VP9 is 20-30% smaller than H.264 at the same quality — noticeably faster loads and lower bandwidth for embedded videos (demos, courses, backgrounds). All modern browsers support it.

Does WebM play on phones and TVs?

Fine in browsers, but many native players, smart TVs, and the iOS Photos app don't support it. MP4 for distribution, WebM for web embedding.

VP9 conversion seems slow — is that normal?

Yes, VP9 software encoding is inherently slow. Mobile suits short clips; a desktop browser handles long videos much faster.
